5 Upcoming Treatments That Could Slow Down Alzheimer's Disease

Vaccines

Beta-amyloid is a type of protein that groups together in a person’s brain, affecting its ability to function correctly. There are vaccines now available that work to keep these proteins from forming into clumps, which is known for being an early sign of Alzheimer’s. Tau is another protein involved in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. When it twists up, abnormalities start to occur in the brain. Research is going strong as to how this issue can be remedied, so that doctors can slow the onset of symptoms.
